# CentOS vs Fedora
|
|
|
|
CentOS is under CentOS trademark owned by Red Hat whereas
|
|
Fedora is under Fedora trademark owned by Red Hat and also
|
|
the domains of both the CentOS vs Fedora are owned by Red Hat.
|
|
|
|
In resume: projects close to RedHat ...
|
|
|
|
Both projects are **Red Hat related, one are ahead of and the other behind of**,
|
|
main diference from others distributions **it's their lack of packages and setups**,
|
|
due the **shared market focused target** of both.. obviously due the RedHAt relationship.
|
|
|
|

|
## History so far
|
|
|
|
RHEL was a marketplace Linux suscription product.. Fedora was a response that
|
|
made all RedHAt related publicy free available so then RedHat takes as laboratory
|
|
zone for future development, CentOS was the response agains fashion way of Fedora
|
|
method of distribution, later RedHat takes the project and owns as a free version
|
|
closes to their closed zone named RHEL, as a trick to users came to RHEL.
|
|
|
|
## Conclusions
|
|
|
|
CentOS package contains all the required things for entire release where as
|
|
Fedora distributes its most of the packages over the network rather than in a single distribution.
|
|
|
|
CentOS officially supports server oriented with some desktop behaviour amking familiar to most windosers users
|
|
Fedora current versions support Servers, Work Stations, and Personal Computers such like windos market does.
|
|
|
|
CentOS are long time support as up to 10 years as it was based on RHEL whereas
|
|
Fedora are short life cycle as it supports only for at least 13 months and so on.
|
|
|
|
Both have **lack of fine-rare packages and setups**, due the **shared market focused target** of both.
|
|
|
|
**For Desktop usage focused there are the Fedora proyect** due are more fashoned way.
|
|
**For Service usage focused there are the Centos proyect** due are more stable way.
